It compiles (I actually changed 503000 to 600000 and 3.2 to 3.4). No
problems...
It loads fine, without any problems. Couple quick calculations also went
fine. I guess
it works...
Any ideas on lpd/lpq problem? I sent various things out to print... More or
less succesfully... :\
I use the simplest filter: cat, trying to send .ps to the printer. Sometime=
s
it prints the whole
document... sometimes just part of it... (for longer ones) I haven't manage=
d
to get more
than 8 pages (4 sheets) in one print? Any ideas?
